5.3 DC application
The DC terminals may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only. Output voltage
is 15-25v when current terminals are on no load.
1. Connect the charging cable to the DC terminals of the generator and then to the battery
terminals.
2. Start the engine and press the DC button and make sure the output indicator light (green)
comes on.
The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use .
An overloaded DC circuit will melt down the DC circuit fuse.
If this happens, turn off the DC output and stop the engine. Open the right side cover and
you will see a fuse then replace the fuse with a new one.
To prevent the possibility of creating spark, make sure to turn off the DC output before
connect or disconnect charging cables.
Before connecting charging cable to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect
the vehicle grounded battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's ground battery cable after the
charging cables are removed. This procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit
and sparks if you make accidental contact between a battery terminal and the vehicle's
frame or body.

7.3 Air cleaner servicing
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning.
They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner . Rapid engine wear may result.
